For a salon, that isn't one lost call. It's a client's entire future value — every cut, color, and referral — walking to a competitor. Kiro makes sure the phone always gets answered.

Why we built Kiro

Small shops lose the most to a ringing phone — and can afford it the least.

I used to work the counter at a busy bakery café. The phone rang more than you'd think, and every ring was the same decision: stop what I'm doing and pick up, or keep serving the person in front of me? You never know which call is the one that turns into a real order — so you can't just ignore it.

A big shop has enough hands to do both. A small one doesn't.

That's the whole reason Kiro exists. When you don't have to choose between the phone and the work in front of you, you get your focus back — and no call goes unanswered. The enterprise systems that solve this cost thousands and are built for chains. I wanted the one-person shop to have that same "never miss a call" power, at a price a small business can actually carry.

How it works

Three steps, and the phone takes care of itself.

No new phone system, no app for your clients to download. Kiro sits on your existing number.

01

A call comes in

Mid-service, after hours, or when the line's already busy — Kiro picks up on the first ring, so it never goes to a dead-end voicemail.

02

Kiro handles it

Books the appointment, answers questions about hours, prices, and services, or takes a message — talking with the caller in plain language, not reading off a script.

03

You get the details

Every call lands as a text and in your dashboard. When someone wants a person, Kiro hands off to you with the full context — no one repeats themselves.

The real cost

The call you don't catch is the booking you lose.

The math that matters isn't Kiro's price — it's the revenue quietly walking out the door every time the phone rings and no one can pick up.

85%
of callers who reach a missed call never call back — they dial the next salon on the list.
~50%
of salon bookings happen outside open hours — nights and weekends, when no one's at the desk.
$300–800/mo
is what a live answering service charges to catch those calls — with none of the booking.

One booking Kiro catches can cover the whole month. It's on standby 24/7 — you only pay for the minutes it's actually on the phone.

Straight answers

The questions owners actually ask.

Will Kiro replace my staff?
No. Kiro catches the calls you'd otherwise miss while your hands are full, and hands off to your team the moment a caller wants a person. Your staff keep doing what they do best — Kiro just makes sure the phone always gets answered.
Does it sound like a robot reading a menu?
A quick prompt points the caller the right way — booking or a question — and from there it's a real conversation, not a long phone-tree. Kiro is upfront that it's an assistant, it won't pretend to be a person, and it passes the call to you the moment someone asks for one.
Do I need a new phone or a new number?
No. You keep your current number and your booking book. Kiro sits on the number you already have — nothing to rip out, nothing for your clients to download.
What happens if Kiro can't handle a call?
It hands the call to you with the full context — who's calling and what they need — so no one has to repeat themselves. Kiro is there to catch what you'd miss, not to trap anyone.
Is my call data private?
Your calls and bookings are yours. Kiro handles call data securely and only uses it to run your service. You can read the details in our Privacy Policy.
What does it cost?
Right now we're opening free beta to a handful of businesses while we build alongside real owners. No long contract, keep your number, and you can leave whenever you like. When paid plans start, they begin at $179/month.
Korean-speaking owner?
Your callers hear Kiro in English — but you're supported in Korean the whole way. Setup, your weekly summaries, and help are all in Korean, and you can reach us anytime on KakaoTalk. 한국어로 세팅부터 지원까지 도와드립니다.

Stop losing bookings to a ringing phone.

Be one of the first businesses on Kiro. Free during beta, keep your number, no contract — you can walk away anytime. All we ask for is honest feedback.
